Ex-killer David Callan, now a dead-end book-keeper, is hired for one last hit on businessman Schneider. Read by Ben Miles.

Callan is washed up. The most efficient killer in Europe is now working in a dead-end job as a book-keeper for an ungrateful and miserable boss. But circumstances force British intelligence chief 'Charlie' Hunter to re-employ him for one last operation. His target - German businessman Rudolf Schneider who works in an office opposite Callan. Is the fact that the two men work in such close proximity a mere coincidence? Or is it all an elaborate plan by Hunter? Callan has his suspicions...

Hunter has given Schneider a red file and Callan is all too aware of the significance of this. Cheerful, friendly, affluent Schneider with his innocent passion for model soldiers must die. Once again Callan's means to an end is petty criminal Lonely, the most frightened little man in the underworld. It is Lonely who gets him the gun, a Noguchi Magnum 38 calibre. A magnum for Schneider.

Sprinting in from the Olympic Park, Clive's first guest is our newest national treasure, broadcaster, writer and inventor of the 'Mobot' Clare Balding. Clare's new book 'My Animals and Other Family' is the hilarious and tear-jerking story of her unusual upbringing. From the protective Candy to the pot-bellied Valkyrie and the frisky Hattie, each horse and dog had a special part to play in Clare's life in the Hampshire Downs.

Clive hears Birdsong with novelist and journalist Sebastian Faulks and talks to him about his literary career, writing bestsellers such as 'Charlotte Gray' and about how he was shaken, not stirred whilst writing the James Bond novel 'Devil May Care'. Sebastian's new book ' A Possible Life' journeys across continents and time, exploring the chaos created by love, grief and divided loyalties.

Robin Ince Mocks The Week and splits the bill with political comedian Ava Vidal. Her new show 'Ava Vidal Goes Dutch' raises questions of community and responsibility.

Paul Temple and the Geneva Mystery

See You in London

A stabbing in the snow, a fatal fire, blackmail and hush money.

Can the suave sleuth unravel the deadly mystery?

Francis Durbridge's thriller stars Peter Coke as Paul Temple and Marjorie Westbury as Steve in another intriguing case for BBC radio's smoothest investigator and his glamorous wife.

They inhabited a sophisticated world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women were chic and the men wore cravats - a world where Scotland Yard usually needed Paul's help with tricky cases.

THU 07:30 John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme (b01l1dl0)
Series 2

Episode 1

John Finnemore, the writer and star of Cabin Pressure, regular guest on The Now Show and popper-upper in things like Miranda and Family Guy, records a second series of his hit sketch show.

The first series was described as "sparklingly clever" by The Daily Telegraph and "one of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite some time" by The Guardian. It featured Winnie the Pooh coming to terms with his abusive relationship with honey, how The Archers sounds to people who don't listen to the Archers and how Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde decided whose turn it was to do the washing up.

This episode doesn't feature any of those things, but it does feature an awkward celestial relationship, surprisingly easy contract negotiations, and a trailer for a film about the only mode of transport that hasn't had a film made about it yet.

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme is written by and stars John Finnemore. It also features Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Simon Kane, Lawry Lewin and Carrie Quinlan. It is produced by Ed Morrish.
